Nanomedicine: from Application reality to Anticipation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Medical applications for nanotechnology are the most important applications of this modern technology among all applications because of its direct link to human life and health. Nanotechnology promising to innovate a lot of medical applications related to accurate diagnosis and treatment of high efficiency as well as many applications in the field of health care, facing the most deadly diseases in humans such as cancer. Nanomedicine is the application of medical nanotechnology that will lead to the development of research methods, advanced drug delivery systems, new ways to treat disease or repair damaged tissues and cells. Delivering drug in this era is the most advanced application of nanotechnology in the field of medicine. Nanoparticles are being developed to improve the biological availability of conduction, and a major constraint in the design of new lipid-based or polymer-based polymer molecules is due to their small size, rather than being discharged from the body. These nanoparticles can be used on shuttle drugs in cells that may not be drug-free on their own. Nanoparticles may be specifically capable of targeting certain cell types, reducing toxicity and improving efficacy. The aim of this descriptive minireview, generally, is to shed light on the main Applications of Nanoparticles in Medicine.
